it's more than one problem, really; you'll need to get a way to intercept the messages up and down, block file transfers, tokenize the messages searching for `secret` words, analize their potential/relative risks and select actions to take... 1) I don't know how to intercept messages, maybe would be easier to build your own messaging client, you can try this: http://www.lionknight.com/index.html#VCL 2) block file (and images) transfer would then be easy 3) there are some ready made string parsers/tokenizers out there, the problem will be wich words (or combination) to monitor, some teens like to write `3v3n` instead of `even` and the like... 4) then you'll need to estimate the risk of each token and what action to take, can be a `points` algorithm, like spamassassin uses to quantify spams, or some AI technique.
please let me know if you manage to build it, I'll have the same issue in one or two years... regards, Carlos [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting barry16801 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Not to be rude, but this is a Delphi group, not a parent group.
